Astonished board tables vote

(Continued from page 1) 8-8:30 p.m. However, the town’s meeting was adjourned 15 minutes after starting due to the absence of Clark. Thus there was no meeting between the two boards. A letter dated July 29 from the township was received, after the town had published its budget, stating the boards were in agreement with the dispatching conq tract and Mrs. Mitchell over seeing the day to day duties of the dispatchers. But concerning the fire and EMS budgets the township felt it was not possible to hold to the $12,600 figures and “based on the way it has been in the past” the town’s 20 percent share for 1987 would need to be $14,640. Based on this disagreement the town opted to seek the alternative dispatching for the police department as of January 1,1987 A letter was sent to the township stating this fact. Replying to the town’s letter the township made a counter proposal offering to honor the town’s original proposal in an effort to salvage the local dispatching since the people voiced their opinion by vote in 1982 to retain local dispatching. The township re-

Budget approved

The Wawasee Community School Corporation met last and unanimously adopted the school budget for 1987. The general fund budget estimate totals $7,565,670. Two copies have been sent to the Kosciusko County auditor for submission to the Indiana State Tax Board. As usual, a state public hearing will be held in November to justify aH school budgets for the coming year. a Personnel recommendations to hire ten full and part-time employees were read by Dr. Webster, superintendent of schools, and approved unanimously by the board. This fills the current personnel needs of the school corporation except for one secretary position yet to be filled at Wawasee High School. Current enrollment figures were presented, showing an increase of 55 over last year. Dr. Webster said more enrollments may come in after Labor Day. Dr. Webster informed the board that Dick Wysong, voca-

quested a reply prior to September 4 so that on September 10 the matter could be finalized. Mitchell commented on the master by stating “even if the go to the county (for dispatching of the police department) we don’t feel the county can handle the volume of ambulance and fire“ calls we receive.” Mitchell also stated the biggest thing the township does not want to see done is “people getting scared to death about loosing fire and EMS protection. We’ll make every effort we can to keep dispatching here in some fashion.” Other Business Problems with the school crossing guard lights prompted the town board to ask Mrs. Payne to write a letter to the state highway department. Clark stated Richard Long, principal of North Webster Schools, K as also contacted the state with no results. The letter states that a great Getting smaller More than one rural resident in 10 left the land in the first half of the 1980’s, as the nation’s farm population turned significantly smaller and older, the government said.

tional education teacher, has been selected as chairman of a regional group in a four-county area to help promote cooperation among schools in the vocational education area. Wysong'defined the planned activities of the group and stated that Wawasee Community Schools Corp, should benefit from the shared information of this regional committee. It was reported by Dr. Webster that the first day of school was a bus inspection day at Wawasee by the state. All busses received 100 percent approval in the inspection and it was stated that Kreider and Fred Green had done an excellent job having the buses ready. Dr. Webster informed the board of the selection of Ned Speicher and Dick Long to participate in the first Indiana Principal Leadership Academy sponsored by the Indiana Department of Education. He commented that normally only one principal is accepted from a school corp. Board members congratulated the two principals on their being selected to this prestigious academy.
